The pvp system should take more into consideration than which players lived in pvp and which players died.
There are already some rules in effect, such as:
Start a fight with a guy who has less than 50% HP and you get no fame
Start a fight with a grey-con and you get no fame
Rules like that are good but if you people actually wanted the title system to give some indication of "skill" then there needs to be more rules. Because face it, it takes 0 skill for a group of 6 to kill 1 necro. Yet so many of you get your titles by doing just that. And then you complain that this new system doesn't grant you the prestige that you earned.
So in short; if you folks actually want the title/fame system to be a declaration of your "skill" then tell SOE to implement rules like this:
1. The amount of fame given is based on how many jackasses you have in your group compared to the player you kill. So for examples:
Example 1)
Your group of 5 rolls a solo player.
You get very little fame
Example 2)
Your group of 6 rolls a group of 4
You get decent amount of fame
Example 3)
Your group of 2 kills group of 3
You get increased fame
Get it? So when you're flying around at night with your pvp group of 6, jumping off the bird to stop and kill every soloer you see, so that in the morning when your other friends get online you can brag about your stupid title, you'll be fuckered.
Now the complain will be said: But then nobody will group for pvp? Sure they will, but you'll be rewarded based on your "skill" and based on the challenge of the kills you make. You do want your title to be an indication of your uber skills, right? I mean thats what you said.
Okay Rule #2, and I'm only posting this rule idea for all the fucktards who play an SK, use only HT, and claim they're skilled.
Rule 2:
SOE should keep a few tiers of classes. Based on how bad they fuck up balance, these tiers can change.
So for example, classes that are considered by all to be pretty much OP, would be in T1. Classes that are pretty well balanced would be T2. And classes in T3 would be the ones that everyone laughs at. Like necros.
When fame is dolled out, you would be awarded fame based on how shitty or how op of a class you were playing compared to the guy you slaughtered.
So say I'm playing a T1 class and I kill three T3 classes. It took no skill to kill them because I'm OP and I fucking know it. Then I go and I kill one T1 class. Well I think the system should say that I get about the same amount of fame for killing the three T3's as I did the one T1.
Because plain and simple; it takes skill to succeed at a shitty class. How many necros do you see out there pwning newbs? Not many. Only the good ones (or the ones in groups of 6).
And on the other hand, it takes no skill to play other classes. Say an sk for example. We all know they're rigged right now. So how can an SK go and say "my title expresses my uber skills" when all it really expresses is the fact that SOE screwed up class balance and you've seen your advantage?
I can see disagreeing with Rule #2 cause whos going to decide which classes are which tiers? Right? (I'll decide if you want me to ;)
But if you disagree with rule #1, you had better have a damn good reason. Otherwise you're in danger of being one of the stupid people I mentioned previously. And trust me, there are a lot of you out there.

Did you have to make it that long? well........i suppose you did. But i have to agree that there are some Great improvement with this new pvp system. On the old pvp system if you attack a guy. He's very much likely to SPRINT LIKE HELL AWAY for fear of losing his title. Making it very frustrating to try to do 1v1 pvp. This new pvp rule solves that problem
Here's an issue i have with the new rule
Why does your fame decay while your OFFLINE?!
what if you go on vacation? i would prefer i
decay at a faster rate while ONLINE
Also......heres a thought. Get rid of pvp titles. Then that problem is eliminated completely. And we have absolute complete battle without worry of some stupid title. This i predict shall NOT happen tho
